Re: Could 2257 finally get defeated?
Personally I can't think of a worse way to attack 2257 than using the 4th amendment. If there is one thing that is abundantly clear over the years is that the Supreme Court will ignore the 4th amendment and make a decision, no matter how assinine on it's face, in the name of serving the governments will to forward it's "war' on soemthing in the name of protecting the people. All anyone needs to do is look at the VAST majority of drug rulings over the years. How search and seizure laws were abused beyond belief and the sneak and peek provision of the Patriot Act has been used.
There was a recent article about how only 2 or 3 out of 763 uses of sneak and peek in 2008 were actually terror case related and that is what the laws sole purpose was supposed to be for. The 4th amendment, for the most part, is a joke in this country. From stuff like this to people who are cleared of drug charges then having to prove their property was innocent of a crime the 4th amendment is about as strong as wet toilet paper.
